I Gave Away My Two Hearts, and He Lost Me Forever

I thought he would be different from my parents.Yet when my sister suffered a relapse, he became consumed by a single, obsessive thought: he wanted me to donate one of my hearts to her.What he didn’t know was that I only had one heart left.And my other heart was already inside him.“It’s just one of your hearts. Why do you have to be so selfish?“Weren’t you brought into this world just so your sister could live?”Noah held my wrist in a vice grip.“But I want to live, too. I’ll die without a heart!”Noah’s face stiffened for a second, but he pressed on. “You have two hearts. If you give one up, you’ll still have one left. You’ll survive! But your sister is different. Without this heart, she’s going to die.”Ignoring my frantic struggles, Noah dragged me toward the prep room.I tried to explain, completely helpless. “I only have one heart right now! You saw the report yourself, didn’t you?”Noah refused to listen. “Who knows what you did behind my back just to avoid donat

Naomi watched Noah sit back down before slowly closing her eyes, a faint, contented smile gracing her lips.Meanwhile, inside the hospital morgue, an attendant stared down at my body with a troubled frown. “It’s been two days and no one’s come to claim her. What are we supposed to do?”Another attendant was busy packing up his gear. “What are you staring at? Finish up quickly so we can get off work.”Together, the two men heaved my body into a body bag.“Looking at the state she’s in... dying such a gruesome death, she probably wasn’t a good person anyway.”“Good person, bad person—once they turn to ash, it’s all the same.”“True. Still a shame, though. She was so young.”Another two days passed.Only when Noah saw that Naomi had mostly recovered did he finally remember to come looking for me.He walked over to my recovery room, only to find it completely empty. A nurse was in the middle of changing the bedding.“Where is the patient in this bed?”The nurse looked up, recogn

Dr. Vaughn hadn’t expected Noah to react this way.“A heart transplant, of course. You had it done when you were a child.”The room fell into a heavy silence for a few seconds before someone burst inside.“Dr. Sullivan! Quick, come take a look—the family members of room 32 are getting into a fight!”Hearing “Room 32,” Noah immediately pictured Naomi. He bolted straight for the ward without a second thought.The moment he stepped into the room, he heard someone shouting at the top of their lungs: “You still dare to deny it?! My niece donated her heart to your son!”Noah rushed forward and pulled the two people apart.When Noah’s mother, Victoria Sullivan, caught sight of him, her eyes welled up with aggrieved tears.The other woman, upon recognizing Noah, began screaming at him again. “It was you! Sophia’s heart is inside you!”Noah stared at her in utter disbelief as my previous words suddenly echoed in his mind.“What is going on here?”Vincent and Eleanor had just walked i

Although my parents were deeply anxious about Naomi, there were far more critical answers they needed to get to the bottom of right now.George and Scarlett were frantically churning their brains, trying to figure out how to lie their way out of this. Just as the atmosphere reached a boiling point, Victoria suddenly dropped to her knees right in front of my parents.“Vincent, Eleanor... I am so sorry! It’s all my fault!”Events were unfolding so fast that even Noah didn’t have time to react. He stepped forward to pull his mother up, but Victoria began spilling the truth of the past through her tears.Noah listened in mounting horror as his mother recounted how weak his heart had been when he was a young boy. His family had searched high and low, exhausting every avenue to find a matching heart for a transplant—until, by chance, they stumbled upon me.They had paid George and Scarlett an astronomical sum for my heart.They had assumed that after the operation, our paths would neve

He had questions that required answers from Naomi.Ever since Naomi woke up, she had noticed the heavy, burdened expressions weighing on my parents. Instead of crowding around her bed the moment her eyes opened as they usually would, they just sat off to the side, sighing in heavy silence.Looking over at Victoria, she too sat in complete, deadened silence.Naomi wondered, “Did Sophia suddenly show up and say something to them?”“No, that doesn’t make sense,” she thought. If I had shown up, my parents would have grabbed me by the hair and forced me to apologize to her on my knees—especially after I had disappeared for so long without bothering to visit her.Besides, George and Scarlett were still hovering outside in the corridor; they were never going to leave without getting their hands on some money.Just as Naomi was stewing in confusion, Noah walked through the door.At a single glance, Naomi spotted my phone clutched in Noah’s hand, and her mind immediately spun to life wit
